PARKS AND RECREATION

4th of July EXTRAVAGANZA!That's tomorrow and yes, it's another one of the really great community traditions lasting all day long!

The annual parade through town begins at 10:00am at the intersection of Second and Main Street and ends at the north end of Caledonia Street so that everyone can filter over to Dunphy Park. This year the judging station for the parade participants will be in front of Robin Sweeny Park.

Then, starting at noon, Dunphy Park will begin hosting live music by The Ace’s and Eugene Huggins, food by the Sausalito Rotary Club and Galilee Harbor, tug of war, dancing and family games like the famous traditional City Wide Egg Toss with eggs donated by Molly Stones.

The day concludes at Gabrielson Park. Between 6:30pm and 9:30pm, there will be music by Elena Keating and the R & B Allstars 70’s, filling the evening air in anticipation of the grand finale to a fun filled day. Richardson’s Bay will then provide a beautiful view and front row seating to our very own fireworks display off Spinnaker Point.

We need your help and support to raise $26,000 for the cost of the fireworks spectacle. Donations from local residents and merchants solely fund the fireworks show. You can make a donation online at www.sausalito4thofjuly.com or send/drop off your tax-deductible donation to: Parks and Recreation C/O Fireworks, 420 Litho Street, Sausalito CA 94965

POLICE DEPARTMENT
PREVENTING MAIL THEFT

In the past few weeks, the Sausalito Police Department has received three reports of mail theft. Thieves target mail as a means of obtaining checks and personal information. This can lead to fraudulent credit card applications and purchases being made in the victim’s name. Anyone who has had their identity stolen can attest to the frustration and the time it takes to clear their name.

Here is what you can do to protect your mail from thieves:
• Promptly remove mail from your mailbox after delivery, especially if you're expecting checks, credit cards, or other negotiable items. If you won't be home when the items are expected, ask a trusted friend or neighbor to pick up your mail.
• Have your local post office hold your mail while you're on vacation, or absent from your home for a long period of time.
• If you don't receive a check or other valuable mail you're expecting, contact the issuing agency immediately.
• If you change your address, immediately notify your post office and anyone with whom you do business via the mail.
• Always deposit your important mail (credit card applications, payments, etc.) in a mail slot at your local post office, or hand it directly to your letter carrier.
• Consider on-line banking and bill payment.

If you believe that your mail has been stolen, please contact the Sausalito Police Department at 415-289-4170. In addition, you can file an on-line report with the USPS at: https://postalinspectors.uspis.gov/investigations/MailFraud/fraudschemes/mailtheft/MailTheft.aspx

If you see anyone suspicious looking through mailboxes, day or night, please contact the Police Department without delay. Report anything suspicious, such as multiple mailboxes left open or abandoned mail found on the roadside.

PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENTS

MARINSHIP WAY TO BE TEMPORARILY CLOSED TO THROUGH TRAFFIC BEGINNING JULY 14

As Council and the community were advised during a presentation to Council on June 10, 2014, the US Army Corps of Engineers plans to temporarily close Marinship Way between Testa Street and Liberty Ship Way to allow for road repair and the installation of new striping and signage to improve traffic circulation and improve safety conditions along Marinship Way. The work is scheduled to begin Monday, July 14, 2014 and be completed before the Sausalito Art Festival Labor Day weekend. Temporary road closure signs will be posted at Harbor Drive, Testa Street, Liberty Ship Way and Bridgeway Avenue.

During construction, vehicle, bicycle and pedestrian traffic will still have access to the U.S. Corps of Engineers’ San Francisco Bay Model Visitor Center and Operations Facility. If on foot or bike, please use the existing pathway that runs along the waterfront and east side of the Visitor Center to avoid the construction zone. Bicycles and pedestrians can also connect to Testa and points north via that same route.

For more information call the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ BMVC at 415 289-3007. The City's contact for this project is Jonathon Goldman, Director of Public Works, City Engineer and ADA Coordinator. Goldman can be reached at 415-289-4176 or via electronic message to jgoldman@ci.sausalito.ca.us.
